	Hope this wasn't too long, JJ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What do you think, Durron?" Jag's voice came over Kyp's comm-link. "Should we risk it?" Kyp stared at the massive frigate looming ahead of them. If they could take it out, the coralskippers would be easy pickings, the yammosk was on that frigate. But the frigate was heavily guarded, and any strike at it would cost them dearly. He opened his mouth to offer his opinion when the Force blindsided him with agony. He must have cried out, because his comm-unit crackled. "What is it?" Jag asked worriedly. Kyp couldn't reply. The agony was unbearable, overwhelming and searing through every fiber of his being. It took all of his strength not to faint as blackness threatened to overtake him, and he gritted his teeth against a scream. Jaina! he screamed mentally, her anguish tearing through him like a heatstorm, every cell alive with fire and pain so bright his vision erupted in a flash of white. Suddenly an image of Luke Skywalker's face twisted in agony leapt into his mind, along with the telepathic order to sever his link to Jaina. Too dazed to do it, he opened himself up to Luke, and felt the Jedi Master reach out to the part of him that was Jaina, and then the pain was gone. The bond he had with Jaina was smothered out, for now, and Kyp had to pant hard, taking deep breaths just to keep from choking. Thank you, he called to Luke weakly. He felt Luke give him a reassuring brush. She's having the baby. Kyp's eyes went wide and he almost lost the breath he'd fought so hard to get. Now? he cried. Luke gave him a strong nudge of confirmation. Jacen's with her, he assured him. Mara, Tahiri and Leia, too. She'll be fine. Kyp nodded to himself, stunned. He had never, ever felt anything like that before. Never had he felt anything so excruciating, not even when he had felt Jacen Solo's "death". I don't know how women do it, he thought to himself with a groan. "Kyp?" Jag was demanding, sounding near frightened. "Kyp, are you alright?" Kyp filed it away in his mind that the kid really did care about him, then shook his head, trying to clear it of all the agony he had just experienced. "I'm alright," he answered, but his voice came out hoarse and broken. "What the Sith happened?" Jag asked. "Jaina," Kyp managed, still breathing hard. "What?" Jag asked, his voice tense. "What happened to her?" "She's having the baby," Kyp replied. He felt Jag's shock scream through the Force, then his concern, his fear, his anger at not being there for her. "Jacen's there, trying to fend off some of the pain, but it nearly knocked me unconscious." "Sithspawn!" Jag cursed. Kyp heard him switch over to the main comm-frequency. "General Antilles? This is Twins Leader. Permission to return to base?" "Permission denied, Colonel," Wedge's apologetic voice came back. "We need that frigate knocked out before I can let anyone return to base." "General," Jag protested. "My-" "I know, Colonel," Wedge said wearily. "She's in good hands. You'll just have to trust them to take care of her for now." "Uncle," Jag pleaded. "Please reconsider. I need-" "You need to do your duty, Jagged," Soontir Fel's voice cut in. "Your squadron is the one carrying the proton torps. If you return to base, the other squadrons will not be able to take down the frigate, and will be overrun by those coralskippers. You have your orders, now take out that frigate." "Yes, sir," Jag said through gritted teeth, and Kyp got a flash of intense anger from the young pilot. "As soon as it's destroyed, you have permission to fall back," Wedge told him. "I'm sorry, Colonel. I know how important this is to you. But it's imperative that we knock out that frigate, or they'll both be in considerably greater danger." "Understood, sir," Jag replied evenly. "Let's go knock out that frigate then," Kyp said. "I agree," Jag responded. "Twin Suns, we are engaging now. I repeat, we are engaging now." As they rushed towards the looming frigate, Kyp had the foresight to hope that they all lived through this, but if they didn't, he hoped Jag did. It would be a cruel trick of fate for one Fel to leave the universe, just as another came into it. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization

	Jaina took deep, calming breaths, drawing on her Jedi training to hold off the pain coming from her protesting muscles. Jacen squeezed her hand, willing some of his strength into her through their twin bond. "Almost there, Jaina," he said gently. "You're almost done." The later stages of labor were now so intense that she couldn't reply without losing her concentration, so she gave him a grateful caress with the Force, then reached for her son. Don't be afraid, she told him. It's okay. I'm here. I promise, it'll be okay. Jaina didn't know if he understood the words, but he understood the feeling behind them. Recognizing his mother's touch, he relaxed some. To Jaina's delight, he reached back to her, and an amazing wave of warmth flooded between them. I love you, she told him, putting as much emotion as she could behind those words. I love you and your father loves you. Don't be afraid. We won't let anything happen to you. I promise. She felt her son join with her like the pieces of a puzzle fitting together, and their identities began to blur together until they were not two separate beings, but one. Images flashed through her mind, glimmerings of the future granted to her by the Force in this moment of miracle. She saw a boy with dark hair and bright green eyes peering at a baby with similar features, his eyes wide in awe. She saw the same boy holding hands with a little girl, dark hair swept away from her face in curls and identical green eyes wide in delight as they played in the surf. And she saw herself, holding the little girl on one hip, with the boy holding her hand, all watching with smiles as a clawcraft soared overhead. She felt panic seize her son as the contractions intensified, and she let go of the images, reaching out for her son with a soothing brush. She felt him calm down a little, and felt his presence clinging to hers, and a wave of sadness washed over her that Jag would never, could never, connect to their children this way. But tiny hands brushed her mind in reassurance and Jaina marveled at how strong her son was in the Force. Just like Anakin was, she thought in awe. A bright light exploded behind her eyes and she heard someone- Jacen?- cry out. Her agony had carried over to him through their twin bond. His cry jolted Jaina's focus back to med-room ceiling as she felt her son's touch being pried away from her. "What...?" she gasped. "He's halfway out!" Jacen's voice seemed to boom in her ears. "Keep pushing, Jaina!" Overwhelming agony washed over Jaina and she gritted her teeth against a scream. She saw her mother's face swim over hers, felt cool hands on her forehead. "Come on, honey, you can do this. You're almost there." "One more push, Jaina," Tahiri urged gently. The door beside her slid open and Jaina turned her head to see Jag rush in, still in his flightsuit and tearing off his gloves. "Jaina!" he cried. "Jag!" she gasped out, relief flooding through her. "On three," Mara called. "One ... two ... three!" Jaina clenched her teeth so hard she thought they would shatter, and focused all of her strength on pushing. She felt Jag grab onto her hand, squeezing tightly. She closed her eyes, every muscle in her body screaming in agony. At the peak of the surge of pain, she heard a burst of crying. Human crying. Her son's crying. "Oh..." Jag gasped, clutching Jaina's hand. "Oh, Jaina..." "He's out," Jacen announced, sounding oddly dazed and out of breath. "How is he?" Jaina asked weakly, too exhausted to sit up. She felt Jag rub her hand with his thumb tenderly. "He's fine," Mara promised. "He's fine and wailing like a bantha cub." "Oh, Jaina," Leia was smiling, tears welling up in her eyes. She kissed Jaina's forehead. "Oh, sweetheart, you did it. I'm so proud of you." Sighing in relief, Jaina leaned back into the bed, drawing on the Force to soothe her pain. A moment later, Jacen stepped into view, a tiny bundle wrapped in a blanket with a Rogue Squadron emblem on it in his arms. Jaina had only a moment to wonder when Gavin had snuck that down, and then Jacen was leaning over her. "You did it, Jaya," he said softly, gazing down at his nephew in awe. He lowered the baby gently into Jaina's arms. "You have a son." Jaina stared down at the crying baby in her arms in wonder. She had created him. She and Jag had created this tiny little person. She gave him a tender nudge with the Force, telling him he was in her arms, and his crying faded as he realized who she was. "He's beautiful," Tahiri breathed, gaping at the baby with wide eyes. "He is," Mara agreed, coming to stand beside Leia and squeezing her sister-in-law's arm. "Congratulations, Jaina, Jag." "Thank you," Jaina whispered, not taking her eyes off of her son. She heard Jag murmur thanks, his eyes wide as he watched their son in amazement. "What are you going to call him?" Jacen asked, kneeling beside her to peer at the baby with a bright smile. His eyes reflected Jaina's own amazement and wonder. Jaina looked down at her son and smiled. His eyes fluttered open, pale green eyes with flecks of blue dancing around the retinas. He blinked at her groggily, an expression of bewilderment on his tiny little face. "Anakin," Jaina whispered. She looked up at Jag, who nodded his consent, then smiled up at her brother, mother, aunt and Tahiri, her eyes welling up with tears. "His name is Anakin." -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization
